Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 926: Chapter 287: A Heroic Toad_3

However, after arriving there, what was left were mostly just empty buildings; the hunters had long since heard the news and scattered.

Even so, there are probably several millions of people from the Federation in the whole Old Continent, with someone being captured almost every day.

The Thorny Snake Corps, aside from interrogating for some intelligence, doesn’t kill these prisoners of war. Instead, they use them as cannon fodder to pioneer the Alternate Dimension.

Leonard Churchill’s Venomous Bee Vanguard Group was still tasked with scouting.

But it wasn’t blind scouting.

Those people seemed to have parts of the Old Continent’s map, and that “Warts Toad” guiding them towards certain specific directions to explore.

Since these people from the Ariel Empire were here to find the “jars”, besides the relics, they spared almost no Alternate Dimension.

Others didn’t understand why.

But Leonard Churchill understood all too well.

After all, he had obtained one of the jars in the “Greedy Mining Well”, an Alternate Dimension whose tier wasn’t high, it was just very well hidden.

But it required unlocking a very high level of difficulty to be obtained.

They didn’t miss any space, so the exploration progress was not fast.

Also, the personnel consumption was very large.

Follow-up troops from several other Red Dragon Kingdom’s legions arrived, as well as a large number of war slaves.

Until this day, they came to a city ruins called “Waren City”, where they discovered an Alternate Dimension called “Waren Rebel Camp”.

The main legion stopped.

This was a Fourth Tier Alternate Dimension; the difficulty was extremely high.

Several batches of cannon fodder were sent in, but only a bit of preliminary information was explored.

Leonard Churchill also understood some of it.

These guys seemed to know certain directional clues, and whenever they discovered some “special historical plot,” they would focus on exploring it.

This “Waren Rebel Camp” seemed to be related to the jars or something like that?

However, Leonard Churchill wasn’t concerned about any Alternate Dimension.

Because he finally found an opportunity to get close to that Toad.

….

The Old Continent was vast, and after entering the city, the Thorny Snake Corps spread out as well.

Like a large net unfurled, they “fished” over a wide area and pioneered multiple Alternate Dimensions simultaneously.

However, the Venomous Bee Vanguard Group was one of the best reconnaissance groups, and they always followed the main force.

Leonard Churchill had been looking for an opportunity to get close to that Toad for several days.

The legions were spread too thin, even now, the main force had only about a thousand people.

The personnel configuration was also somewhat strained.

“Waren Rebel Camp”, this high-difficulty Alternate Dimension, not only consumed a large number of war slaves but also some soldiers who entered it.

After another batch of main forces were diminished, the Vanguard Team was also responsible for the work of supervising those slaves.

The opportunity came that day.

The slave was not only to be watched but also fed daily.

And one of the tasks was to deliver food daily to the Toad and clean the excretions from the prison carriage.

Normally, this wouldn’t be a problem, but getting anywhere near that prison carriage, one could smell a poisonous stench of decay from afar.

This task was the most despised job in the entire camp.

Leonard Churchill was disguised as “Joel”, a silent type, and he was the one to do all the dirty and tiring work in the Vanguard Team.

So, once the Vanguard Team was tasked with supervising the slaves.

This job naturally fell to him.

Leonard Churchill did not show any abnormalities.

For three days in a row, he delivered food and cleaned the prison carriage.

Even though he had the chance to contact the Toad, he did not make any moves.

It was until the fourth day that the guards guarding the prison carriage became familiar with his face.

Seeing Leonard Churchill come to clean, those guards kept some distance to avoid being contaminated by the stench.

He started the routine cleaning with a thick black cloth covering his mouth and nose.

Leonard Churchill seemed to observe more closely than usual. But this time, the Toad took the initiative to speak: “You are very clever. Any stranger approaching would surely be under surveillance. I didn’t expect that you resisted talking to me in the past few days.”

“…”

This remark slipped into his ears, causing Leonard Churchill’s pupils to shrink slightly.

Normally, a Fourth Tier card master wouldn’t notice that kind of surveillance, but Leonard Churchill’s “Intention” was now very adept.

Combining it with “I am the world”, he deduced the Cause and Effect threads tangled around the Toad, and he was certain that approaching this guy would certainly be risky.

These past days, he had always vaguely felt he was being watched.

Therefore, he had made no moves, not even daring to misuse his Shadow, but instead silently observed where that risk came from.

Moreover, he had to observe the Toad himself.

If the Toad was an idiot with ill intentions, he definitely wasn’t someone to cooperate with.

His thoughts whirred rapidly in his mind, but his hands did not stop moving as he continued to clean up this guy’s green stinking feces that seemed deliberately unleashed, causing the guards to avoid going even further away.

Although the Toad had spoken, it didn’t use its mouth.

It employed a skill akin to ventriloquism.

Seeing that Leonard Churchill’s expression had not changed at all, the Toad also said appreciatively, “Tsk tsk, quite courageous indeed. You knew I had discovered you, yet you didn’t flee but instead came closer to me. In that case, you certainly aren’t from the Red Dragon Kingdom. Weird, you’re not a ‘Dragon Betrayer’ either… Oh, you must be someone from the East Wilderness Card Master Federation, right?”

Cooperation is always mutual.

If the Toad had been approached by a fool, it would definitely not have spoken.

After all, the people from the Red Dragon Kingdom wouldn’t give fools a chance to live.

“…”

Leonard Churchill still did not respond.

The Toad was patient as well.

Both remained silent, observing everything about each other.

Finally, Leonard Churchill was the first to ask a question, “Do you have something that would be of value to me?”

The basis of cooperation is the exchange of valuable things between the two parties.
